Stem and Leaf Plot

A stem and leaf plot is another graphic or numerical displayof the distribution of a variable. The information is tabulated so that the last digit is the leaf and the rest of the numbers in front are the stem. This example of a stem and leaf plot shows the ages of people at a family reunion. This plot shows that the oldest person at the reunion was 81, and the youngest was just one year old.
